Plans are underway to make this year's Gretton Music Festival the best yet.

The musical extravaganza - now in its fifth year - is Northamptonshire's biggest community-based music festival.

Taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, from Friday 22nd to Monday 25th August, it showcases many different musical genres.

For example, last year's event had a veritable smorgasbord on offer, catering for a wide range of musical tastes.

Where else would you find a Verdi masterclass, sea shanties, The Rolling Stones jukebox, folk music, African drumming and local singers featured in the same programme?

This year's line up will be announced in due course, but it's shaping up to be the best yet.

Organizer Terry Forsey said: "We are very excited about this year's Gretton Music Festival, and we're thankful to have the sponsorship of local firm Seatons Solicitors again.

"We've already had a lot of interest from people wanting to perform and are in negotiations to secure Saturday and Sunday night's 'main event' artistes. I can't say too much at this stage, but believe me, they're good!"

Further information will be released when the acts are confirmed.
